The Curious Case of the Cute Man-Baby

Ayub is cleaning up and putting away toys (the boys had emptied their entire toy box because of a war between transformers, monsters, hot wheels cars and a stuffed penguin.) Sulaiman has refused to help.

 

Mr Ninja: Good job Ayub. Put away all your toys. Sulaiman… next time you clean up everything.

Ayub: Yeah! Next time Ayah clean up everything.

Mr Ninja: Huh?

Ayub: Ayah clean up the toys. (giggling) Ayah is so cute!

Mr Ninja: Whut?

Ayub: (laughing hysterically) Awwww… Mama, Ayah is so cute! See the Ayah face. Ayah face so cute.

(Mr Ninja walks off to his man-cave)

Ayub: Ayah is cute like a baby. A big man-baby.

Boys and Breasts

Lunch with my nephews Yusuff (8) and Idriss (5).

 

Yusuff: What part of the chicken is this Ah Yee?

Me: That’s the breast…

(I motion to my chest and Yusuff makes a cheeky face)

Me: (realizing my mistake…) The chest. It’s the chest of the chicken.

Yusuff: The chicken BREAST?!

Me: Yeah. That’s the chicken breast. Which is the chest area of the chicken.

Yusuff: Heeheehee…

Idriss: Chicken BREAST! Heeheehee…

Yusuff: I’m eating breast.

Idriss: You’re going to turn into a chicken BREAST! Heeheehee…

Yusuff: Heeheehee… (chomps away at the chicken breast.)

This is What Happens When One Word has Two Opposite Meanings…

Sulaiman in the toilet pooping…

 

Yesterday:

Sulaiman: Mama! Anadan!

Me: Did you say “I’m done?”

Sulaiman: Anadan!

Me: You’re done?

Sulaiman: Anadan!

Me: Wanna wash your bum?

Sulaiman: No! Anadan! Not yet Mama! I still poo poo.

 

Today:

Sulaiman: Mama! Anadan!

Me: Does that mean “I’m not done?” So you’re not done?

Sulaiman: Anadan!

Me: Ok, call me when you’re done…

Sulaiman: MAMAAAAA!!! Anadan! I want to wash my bum bum!!

What Does Why Mean?

Ayub: Mama, what does “why” mean?

Me: “Why” is a word… that you use when you want to know the reason for something…

Ayub: What?

Me: Like, if I ask “why is the sky blue?” That means I want to know the reason that the sky is blue…

Ayub: Why you use “why”?

Me: See, you just used “why” because you want to know the reason to use “why.”

Ayub: But why?

Me: Why do you want to know why to use “why?”

Ayub: Yeah. What does “why” mean?

Me: “Why” is when you want to find out the reason. “Why do we use “why?”” That means what is the reason we use “why?”

Ayub: Oh yeah… But why?
